I walked in my front door and walked to the bathroom my injury was starting to bother me. I stripped of my clothes and jumped in the shower the hot water against my skin felt so good. I hated getting out but I did, I wrapped a towel around me and walked to my room. I put on my red shirt and black shorts again. I was starving; I trudged to the kitchen and whipped up some pancake. Mum always did manage to keep the kitchen fairly well stocked for me.  I sat down in the lounge room and ate my pancakes in front of the TV watching Mickey Mouse and wishing that Two-Bit was right next to me. I missed him so much I just wanted to hug him but I couldn’t until after the rumble he couldn’t know I was going he would try and stop me. I again thought about not having kids it made my heart ache every time I thought about it so I decided not to think about it anymore at least not until after the rumble when my head could be as muddle up as it liked but I needed a clear head for the rumble.  After I had my food I set the plate down beside me and watched TV for a few hours and smoked half a packet of smokes. I looked at the clock and saw it was 5pm I had been watching TV for hours oh my god!! The rumble started at 7 and for some reason we always got spruced up when it came to a rumble, I never understood why but we just did. I put on tight dark red short sleeved top, black leggings, black lace up boots and of course my black leather jacket I always wore it to a rumble. I went to the mirror and put my hair into my usual way I liked it half up half down with a bump on the top and straight. I put on red lipstick and black eyeliner. I looked pretty good I got to say. It was now 6:30pm so I took one of my tablets the Doc gave me and made my way to the lot where the rumble was taking place.  By the time I reached the lot my pain was gone. I had decided to go around the back way to the lot because sure enough Two-Bit would see me going and he would probably force me back home.  I crouched behind a bush it was behind everybody, I could see everyone who was there but no one could see me it was the perfect place. I looked at who was there I could see Two-bit and Ponyboy! I had almost forgotten about him, and I saw the rest of the gang as well as Tim Shepard’s gang and a gang from Brumly but I didn’t know much about them.  I started to see the Socs turn up and knew this was it this was my time to get revenge. I remembered the dark haired Soc to the perfect detail, from his beady green eyes to the mole just above his lip. I hated him so much!!! I let my anger build up and up it would be better for the rumble. I dumped my jacket behind the bush because it would get in the way in the fight; I always wore it to a rumble but never in it. I decided that if I left it here and needed to make a quick getaway I could grab it and run.

I got up from behind the bush and walked towards the greasers with my head up and smoke in my mouth, I needed to look as tough as possible. I walked through the middle of the gang and they spread apart to let me through all just staring at me, I felt a hand grab my arm and I knew it was Two but I yanked it free and kept walking without looking at him. I didn’t realise how cold it was tonight but luckily the boys had put up a bonfire. I reached the front of the greasers and stood there with my arms crossed in front of me and my legs slightly spread apart as if standing my ground. I saw the Soc that had stabbed me and he was luckily standing right in front of me.  I dropped my cancer stick on the ground and put it out with my foot. I thought I might be frightened when I saw him maybe even scared but all I could feel was anger and I knew I had to get this over with.

Kate: I remember you- I said slowly and quietly only so he could hear me- Do you remember me?

The Soc looked frightened in his eyes but his body didn’t tremble just stood there with his arms crossed.

Soc: nope not really-he sounded way to calm.

Kate:  Oh well I remember you; you’re the greaser that stabbed me and then ran off like a coward.  Remember me now? - I grabbed the collar of his shirt.

Soc: y-yeah I do now, you had to me more specific. He now sounded scared and it made me happy on the inside but I didn’t show it.

Then I slugged him right in the face still holding on to his collar and bunching it up in my left fist. “That’s for stabbing me” I punched him again. “That’s for scaring me.” He fell to the ground so I kicked him in the nuts. “That’s for taking away my right of having kids!” Then I elbowed him in the gut “and that is for making my boyfriend worry about me and this- I slugged him real hard in the jaw- is for being and absolute asshole Soc” I yelled.  Then I got up and stood next to Darry

Darry: Well now that’s over-he didn’t even look or sound surprise he just flexed his muscles a bit and stood up to the leader of the Socs- let’s go.

Darry through the first punch and then all around me people were getting hit and it started pouring rain. I suddenly saw Dally come running in he and Pony were helping each other. The Soc I hit was still lying on the ground. Suddenly I felt something hard hit my jaw I looked around and it was another Soc I hit him in the gut and when he bent over clasping his stomach I put two hands on his shoulders and kneed him in the balls. He groaned and fell down. I climbed on top of him and hit him a few more times in the face. Adrenaline was rushing through me it felt great.  Then I felt two hands on my arms lifting me off him. “let me go” I yelled and thrashed against the arms but it was useless they put me down and then pushed me to the ground and smacked my head into the ground, I felt a them punch my right side where my cut was and yelped in pain, God it hurt so much when they did that but because of the pain killers soon went away.  I struggled against the force holding me down and eventually pushed them off I got up and kicked them in the face that wouldn’t hold them down for long though so I kicked them again but they got hold off my leg and pulled making me fall on my ass. Then they picked me up by my one leg and dropped me on my head. I couldn’t see properly and now my head hurt like a bitch. I heard ringing but couldn’t place where it came from until I realised it was in my head. I got up with great difficulty and saw the Soc just laugh so I grabbed his shirt and punched him again and again and again in the face. When I finished his face was real bloody and swollen and he ran off along with the rest of the Socs. The boys all yelled in triumph but I walked back to the bush and got my jacket then stumbled off.  My head felt bad and couldn’t see straight for some reason the meds wasn’t working on my head but why? I decided to go to the Curtis house and rest up we always went over there after a rumble.  It wasn’t too far away only a short walk but with the way my head was it seemed to take forever.  I did finally get there though I walked up the front stairs walked in a plopped down on the couch.
